You want a running salmon or steelhead to be able to pull drag during a battle

Every time you cast out you need to get into the habit of checking your hook not just when you wind in to recast, but also if you mis-cast and need to wind it in and have another go, as there is always a risk that youve banged the point on something on the bottom when you wound it back in
